Thanks, everyone, for taking an interest and offing some good advice. I called the "Ford Store" a couple of months back and asked them about that TSB you mentioned, lewisnc, (What's the nc for? North Carolina? If so, there's a guy over on the TDS (The Diesel Stop) site that has a little ditty in his signature. Goes like this: I'm Tar Heel Born and Tar Heel bred and when I die I'll be Tar Heel dead. Kinda cute.) and they told me it would cost $60 just to hook up the machine. Seems like if that were my problem (alternator not programed to output the proper amount of juice) it would go dead more often. I've checked the doors and the driver door goes out about 25 seconds after closing and the rest go out immediately. I'll have to do a search and rescue on my digital meter. Recently relocated to Arkansas and things are pretty much hiding from me. The alternator seems like a good candidate for causing this type of problem. Their doesn't seem to be a charging problem as I can drive all night with everything running and it keeps on truckin. It could, however, be allowing current flow when not operating. I'll be watching and if I can get to the bottom of this I'll be sure and post back with the results. Thanks again.
